*A lot of people have asked how I attach the head to the neck. All I do is put a little water on the neck that we formed in part 1 and after forming the head shape, you just push it onto the neck just until the bottom of the head covers the top of the neck or looks proportionate (not too long/short). Hope this helps.

[@NickyLess]

I'm so thrilled to watch this. Am hooked, it's like watching magic unfold. Can't wait to make my mum's birthday cake with this technique :)....not the pregnant belly part though lol!

[@Roo51091]

Lizzy this is amazing, is it just standard fondant you use? - do you combine anything to make it go firm? also what colour do you use for skin, you say ivory but i dont want her to be morbid white (trying to recreate myself for my baby shower) many thanks!! Amazing tutorial!!

[@crystalnorris6086]

WOW... you are truly talented!

[@bubblyblossom1]

So I've just started this figure (but not pregnant) tonight... You make it look so easy! But it's not as easy as it looks to get the right proportions etc. your amazing! I'm having trouble with my fondant cracking only 5 mins after I've finished with a piece... Did I put too much tylose in it? Do you make your own fondant or buy it? I'm up to the top half of the body but I'll have to tackle that tomorrow coz it seems to be the hardest part!

[@meggeoghegan1273]

Fantastic tutorial. Thank you for making it easier for me to replicate your model 😊. I'm going to try it now

[@sassydiane2]

Amazing thank you so much for sharing your talent !!!!!!!!

[@jackieharris4206]

Hi Lizzy, you make this look so easy and the legs and arms are really life like. What kind of fondant / sugar paste do you use, and do you add anything to the mix? Thanks

[@shafeeqahr3169]

my goodness. It's gorgeous.

[@vipanther46]

You are amazing!!! do you make your fondant or buy it? and if so want brands do you use.

[@breesmail07]

You're awesome...I love your attention to detail

[@bubblyblossom1]

This is totally perfect! The vid keeps cutting off when your about to do the neck... I'm on my phone so I'll have to try play it on my laptop coz up till that point... Best figure tutorial EVER! I want to make this girl but not pregnant... I'm assuming the only thing you do differently is not add the ball for the belly? Or do u have to shape the body differently? Thanks so much for this tutorial it's just fab

[@mybabyaurelia]

wow........it's amazing.thank u........I can learn to make this beautiful figurine from this video.......thank's..

[@karenyocom6665]

Fabulous!! Great instruction, thanks so much!

[@AuntieGloria]

So so nice of you to share this. I was easily able to recreate this lady using sculpey clay. But when I tried to do this with the fondant it cracked and the legs broke and fell off like they were too heavy. Do you have any advise? I'm having a terrible time with it. It doesn't stretch like. What canI do?

[@FranklinDify]

This helped me so much.....thank you! One question: how do you attach your pregnant mom to your cake?

[@andreadaws4518]

This is an amazing video! Thank you so much for sharing your talents. I am wondering how to make a "princess", specifically how to do like a ball gown.

DUDE U MADE A DOLL OUT OF FONDANT? UR AWESOME!

[@KatzeARL]

Lady, you are all sorts of awesome....

[@taylorjustin1]

SO CUTE!

[@helen13980]

Try using gum paste, it's the same as putting Tylo (CMC) to the icing. I prefer to use this. I have the same issue to get the shape of the arms and the legs right, but if you make the arms put them into the shape and position you need and leave them to dry for 24 hours before you stick them on, this helps a lot! If your icing dries out, I learnt a new trick last week, you can add a very tiny amount (bit on the end of your finger) of liquid glycerine to the icing, need it in, works a treat! :)

[@TheatricTube]

Haha you're entertaining. I love this video. Can't wait to try to make this!

[@flifr]

YOUR HANDS ARE MAGIC O.o

[@shaya676]

[@MovieGirlinPasadena]

Fabulous!!!!!

[@sallyhoffman7363]

Question about adding tylose powder. I read today, that add to fondant and sit for 24hrs before use. You seen to add this as you go along. Can you add in advance and does it keep without hardening when wrapped. Also, i read elsewhere, how to make the tylose glue, and says only keeps 2 weeks in fridge, do you agree with that? Thanks

[@KelKoutureKandyBuff]

AMAZING!!!!

[@auroratorresandrade1522]

Hi! Maybe your fondant is too old or dry, that's why it brokes itself. I always work the fondant in my hands a lot to heat it so it becomes warm and elastic. Another thing I do is using the whole pack of fondant at once, because although you keep it in good conditions it will begin to dry, and craking once you use it. Hope this helps you! ;)

[@ladyselenity]

Thank you for sharing!
